Jules Destrée is a 1917 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait etching depicts a man with a mustache, his head turned slightly to the right. His hair is dark and styled in a manner that was common during the early 20th century. The background of the etching is a light color, which helps to make the subject stand out. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking off into the distance. The level of detail in the etching is impressive, with fine lines and textures that give the image depth and realism. The technique used to create this etching is a testament to the skill of the artist. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Besnard, Albert.
